Welcome to Midlife Illuminated!
I’m Suzy Glaskie, Functional Medicine Health Coach and founder of Peppermint Wellness.
I've learnt the hard way how to thrive in midlife. And now I'm looking forward to sharing what I've learnt with you.
I hope that this podcast helps you to rediscover your own light - and start to shine.

The antidote to feeling frazzled (and why I'm going quiet)
In this (the final episode in this season of Midlife Illuminated) I share something that every woman needs. Particularly in midlife, when we are overwhelmed by the needs of others.
It's the need to return to ourselves. In the classic book Women Who Run With The Wolves, this is described as "homing".
With thanks to Clarissa Pinkola Estes - author of Women Who Run With The Wolves - for enlightening me on the need for homing.
I hope this episode gives you the permission you need to do your own homing.
I'm now starting a quiet time of no podcasting and no social media posting. To find out how transformative this was last year, listen to episode 68 of this podcast ("I saw the light! Here's how.") You can find it here:

Lastly, I'd like to say a big thank you for tuning in - I'm so grateful for you choosing to join me here. I look forward to sharing more illuminations with you when I'm back for season 5 (make sure you've hit the subscribe button to hear the new season). Wishing you a wonderful summer! Suzy x

Why I'm refusing to be a martyr
Women have always been conditioned to put their own wellbeing last. Research shows that their pets get better care than they do. Pets are wonderful companions: they need and deserve our care. But don't we deserve some care too?
Research has also shown that this "me-last" conditioning leads to serious consequences when it comes to our health outcomes.
For our sakes AND the sake of our loved ones, let's rip up this script and begin a new one. I hope this episode gives you the inspiration to rethink your priorities and discover what lights YOU up.

The secret to ENJOYING getting healthy
Getting yourself healthy doesn't have to be hard work. It can actually be, yes, pleasurable!
Here's my Peppermint Tea chat with Katy Grele, a 51-year-old mum who has come through breast cancer. Katy wasn't interested in doing any more short-lived, quick-fix diet plans. She wanted to adopt healthy habits to see her through the menopause...and the rest of her life. And she has surprised herself by actually enjoying this process.
I hope that listening to our Peppermint Tea chat reassures you that you can also make the lifestyle changes you'd like to.

Why I'm thinking about the end of my life
Ever tried a quick-fix way to lose weight or feel better or look younger? Ever tried a wellness gimmick that promised overnight miracles?
We need to think beyond the short-term. We need to think about how we'd like to feel and live in the last years of our life.
I hope this episode gives you a different perspective on weight loss, ageing - and on caring for yourself.

Women and burnout: why we can't go on like this
There's a crisis amongst women at work. Burnout is the no. 1 reason why women are leaving (or planning to leave) their job.
I've been there myself. My mental and physical health suffered when I tried to juggle a high-stress PR job with caring for very young children.
I talk through why we're at breaking point - and what you can do to protect yourself from burnout.
If this episode strikes a chord and you have your own story to share, drop me a note.

What I learnt in Greece - and why we've misunderstood "diet"
I'm just back from a sailing holiday in Greece. It rained a lot...but at least the food was fabulous. I thought I'd share with you what I've learnt about the fabled "Mediterranean diet".
As you'll hear, food is SO much more than fuel - and the Mediterranean diet is SO much more than what's on our plate.
I hope this episode gives you practical, simple tips on adopting a health-boosting Mediterranean lifestyle...wherever you live.

Customer Reviews
Midlife illuminated
I’m absolutely addicted to this podcast. Suzy’s voice is just wonderful to listen to as are her words of wisdom. Really enjoyable, interesting and relevant topics are covered and I think we need to spread the word about this podcast to all ‘midlife’ women. It’s essential listening.
I love this podcast
